Shock poll reveals Kamala Harris has taken the lead over Trump in Iowa
Daily Mail ^ | November 2, 2024 | Jon Michael Raasch

Posted on 11/02/2024 8:48:51 PM PDT by Angelino97

Kamala Harris is seeing a last-minute surge in momentum over Donald Trump in the final days of one of the closest presidential elections in history.

The vice president was given a surprise jolt on Saturday night with a poll showing she is ahead in the reliably Republican state of Iowa, while DailyMail.com's election forecast shows her gaining on the 78-year-old former president.

The final Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll has Harris leading Trump 47 percent to 44 percent among likely voters, less than three days before Election Day.

It was a shocking result in a state the Democrats haven't won since Barack Obama in 2012 and could be an outlier.

But it suggested that the gap between the two candidates could be getting even closer in what is expected to be a historically tight election on Tuesday night.

Trump and Harris are essentially tied across the country, and the margins in the seven battlegrounds that will likely decide the race are razor-thin.

More than 70 million Americans have voted early and millions more will cast their ballots on November 5.

Polling in Iowa September showed Trump with a four point lead over Harris and the campaign has insisted this is not what will happen in the race.

In a memo on Saturday night, aides pointed to another poll that shows Trump in the lead and that 'far more closely reflects the state of the actual Iowa electorate'.

The campaign also ripped into the method used in the Des Moines Register poll and added that Republicans are seeing a massive surge in early voters in comparison to 2020...

The former president had an 18 point lead for over President Biden in The Hawkeye State in June before he dropped out of the race.

Preparing the narrative for the big steal?

This topic has already been discussed in two to three different postings today. Please read them. I think this poll has already been widely debunked.

No, just a bad poll.

If a pollster were setting up a steal, it would show Trump behind in a state that there was some chance he could lost like North Carolina, Arizona or Georgia.

The Freeper who commented earlier that they expected this particular poll to be posted 16 times by Election Day may have been spot on. Ugh.

This doesn’t exactly give one confidence in pollsters.
Other Iowa polls have Trump comfortably ahead. Meanwhile in Virginia, a Dem polling firm has the race tied while a Fox poll puts the cackler up 10 points?

“Kamala Harris is seeing a last-minute surge in momentum over Donald Trump in the final days of one of the closest presidential elections in history.”

Sure she is... and sure it is the closest in history.

Her surge would have been picked up by other polls and she would be out there campaigning, neither of which has happened.

Yeah. In 1988, John Sasso pulled out a phrase by Michael Dukakis proclaiming “I’m on your side.” Five days out and the press said it was as big as Elvis. Ran it everywhere. A wildfire. Until the votes were counted.

I wouldn’t discount that, not for a second. But on the other hand, the UK’s Daily Mail sure likes provocative headlines. So take anything they say with a grain of salt.

pedo joe, the mouthy garbage boy, got 70,000 less votes in Iowa in 2020 than Bronco Bama got in 2008.

President Trump beat the pedo in Iowa by 140,000 votes in 2020.

Look for "Faceload" Harris to get less than pedo joe's 2020 number.

If Kamala was actually competitive in Iowa, why hasn’t Tim Walz visited, let alone Kamala? Walz is the Governor next door. If there was a REMOTE hope he would be camping out there.

She hasn’t spent money in Iowa because she’ll lose big there.

This poll is fake. This a…— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) November 3, 2024

Hairy Balls (as some blue collar union friends call them) don’t have much support in the rural and blue collar areas. Don’t know about the more Dem-heavy university-town areas (Ames, Iowa City, etc) as I generally avoid liberal sH&Tholes as a matter of principle.

Out in the country and in small towns, the Hairy Balls yard signs usually belong to the usual suspects— schoolteachers, lawyers, and healthcare workers.

Who in their right mind believes this BS? They’re going to steal it again so it really doesn’t matter what we believe before hand.

I like they printed this poll reminds R folks in Iowa to vote on Tuesday...only roughly 30% of the vote is already in for the state. By the way R vote up significantly as a percentage of early vote vs D’s. (though total early vote for both is down vs 2020 (but much more so for the Dems))

Many Americans, especially on the right, put pollsters in the same category as the lamestream media, and act (and cooperate with pollsters) accordingly.
